A team of engineering and medical researchers has found a way to use ultrasound to monitor fluid levels in the lung, offering a noninvasive way to track progress in treating pulmonary edema -- fluid ...

When ultrasound waves travel through the body some of each wave's energy is reflected as an echo which is monitored using an ultrasound scanner. When ultrasound waves hit the air pockets in the lungs, ...

March 21 (UPI) --Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a way to use ultrasound technology to measure fluid in the lungs in pulmonary edema patients. The team of engineering and ...

Researchers have established a suite of parameters that can be determined using ultrasound to quantitatively measure different physical characteristics of the lung. The researchers also demonstrated ...

The assessment of a patient’s body fluid status is a challenging task for modern clinicians. Ultrasonography has numerous advantages, the most important being reproducibility and bedside monitoring of ...

Major California health system leads adoption of FloPatch, a device offering clinical teams real-time data to reduce the risk of giving too much or too little fluid – both of which can lead to serious ...

This prospective, randomized clinical study included patients with cataract who were randomly assigned either to have phacoemulsification with the fluid-based system (30 eyes of 30 patients—Group 1) ...
